✦ Synopsis

Thermal treatment of soft carbons leads to progressive graphitization. It is improbable in nature since it requires a high activation energy. Graphite formation is thus attributed to shear stresses caused by pressure and geothermal gradient as in high pressure-high temperature experiments. A thermally stable carbon appears first (partially graphitized), then graphite.
